How to change an Alaskan’s mind about guns.

I don’t want to hear another word about “responsible Alaska gun culture.” Not another damn word. My husband & daughter were in a coffee shop today in Soldotna. Elderly man had out a gun, showing it to his friends under the table, saying it wasn’t loaded. Then it went off.

He shot the floor, while sitting no more than 3 feet from my daughter. One of his friends was bleeding from floor shrapnel. Thank all I hold sacred that gun was pointed away from my girl! She ended up with pulverized-floor dust on her computer. My husband couldn’t hear.

The man acted like it was no big thing. Baristas called 911. His friends, also elderly, left before the ambulance arrived, taken the wounded woman with them. The man LIED to the police, saying it discharged from his holster. Bullshit. I hope he faces charges.

So next time one of the Second Amendment folks or one of the Alaska gun culture folks wants to talk about responsible gun ownership, do me a favor. Miss me with that shit. You are wrong. My daughter is upset. My husband is pissed. We’re all lucky no one was killed by that fool.

These people are clearly incapable of policing themselves, and we have some of the least restrictive gun laws in the country here in #Alaska. It is time for common sense reform. @aklegislature you need to take action immediately. #GunControlNow@MomsDemand /end

“New York State Rifle in other words, is a huge case because it concerns a tiny i$$ue. If the Supreme Court is willing to declare that even very minor burdens on gun owners violate the Constitution, then it is unclear what can still be done to prevent gun violence.”

“[Kids are] going to continue being more rebellious, more mocking, more arrogant, more prideful. You see, it’s never enough,” Shelley lamented.
“They just want to keep mocking their parents and disobeying their parents. You’ve got to squash out the rebellion in your child.”
“You know how you could squash rebellion in a public school today?” he asked rhetorically. “Take the rebellious one out and stone him. I bet they’d shape up pretty quick. I bet they’d figure out, ‘Maybe I should hearken under the authorities in my life.’ And we see, unfortunately, our society is continually destroying itself, because [all of these] rebellious, arrogant, prideful teenage jerks that just don’t want to hearken to their parents, you know, and God said they should be put to death.”
“The guy that’s the lazy gamer, ‘I don’t want to get a job. I just want to play video games all day and drink alcohol with my buddies,’? That guy should be put to death,”

Yeah. The guys who own guns are usually assholes. Theres a faction of folks here in alaska who like to tote those things around. For the men i think guns are an extention of a certain body part. For the women? I always think those women with the long hair and denim skirts are part of that we are better than yall and plus being under the strict influence of their godly men they gotta tote too.
